What you likely need
You sit at a rare intersection: an operating founder building informed.now while also advising Primary Venture Partners and backing hundreds of startups. The events most valuable to you right now are small, high-signal gatherings that (a) sharpen informed.now's SMS/AI media positioning with fellow consumer founders, and (b) deepen your investor network in NYC/SF around vertical SaaS, fintech, and AI. Prioritize rooms where you can pressure-test product theses AND source deal flow in the same evening.
